Vergil (DmC)

The Masked Man is the leader of "The Order" and twin brother of Dante in the game DmC he appears to have the ruthlessness of his counterpart Vergil of the original games but like Dante he is now half angel as opposed to half human.

Story
Vergil is the twin brother of Dante, estranged from him since childhood. He leads an organisation, called "The Order," which fights demons. In a recent trailer, he is dressed up as a masked figure talked to a camera, taunting Mundus and his demon minions, mentioning that they have a new weapon they are sending after him. When the figure says this, a video of Dante plays.

It is believed that he acts as The Order's leader and mouthpiece, and Mundus does not know of his identity yet.

Background
Vergil's role as the Masked Man and his broadcasts are similar to V, the main protagonist of the V for Vendetta comics. V was well known for broadcasting messages to a corrupt British government as warnings for an upcoming rebellion, much like how the Masked Man is shown warning Mundus and the demon population of a rebellion led by Dante. The Order is loosely based on the White Guelphs, a faction which Dante Alighieri (whom Dante himself is based on) joined during his time in politics. The White Guelphs, like The Order, openly opposed the influence of certain political leaders (Pope Boniface VIII to the White Guelphs and the demon lords to The Order.) and the Black Guelphs, whom Boniface supported. After the Black Guelphs gained control over Florence, Italy, the pope exiled Dante Alighieri and any surviving White Guelphs members from Florence and forced him to pay a large fine.The Masked Man's role and his broadcasts are similar to V, the main protagonist of the V for Vendetta comics.

Appearance
Vergil is usually seen on video wearing a silver mask with a menacing, toothy grin, and eyes with masking tape draped over the sockets, to hide his identity he speaks with a distorted voice to stay unknown to Mundus.

He has similar facial features to Dante inaddition to favoring the longer coat though his is more regal with no hood.

Trivia

 * Vergil's warning videos are very reminiscent of ones uploaded by the internet hacktivist group "Anonymous," who often use a Guy Fawke's mask and a distorted, or computer-generated voice to warn certain bodies that they are on to their wrong-doing or ill-conceived concepts.
 * He shares similarities to the previous Devil May Cry's Vergil such as:
 * -White slicked back hair


 * -What appears to be Yamato in its sheath


 * -Has blue in his attire


 * -Disregard for human life (assuming Kat is human)


 * If one pays close attention to the Gamescom 2012 Trailer his eyes change color regularly and his jacket glows in places.
